Here's one for ya...............I know this man who has been in an abusive marriage for over 16 years and is now trying to divorce from his perpetrator yet, the courts are obliged to cater to her since she is mentally disabled. Not only does she get free representation but she also has counsel from the local woman's shelter advocate. I have seen the extent on the loopholes and strategies employed by people who know how to skirt the laws in order to get the results they are seeking. Call me stupid, call me naïve, call me a girlscout, but I believe in fairness and honesty, yet if anyone wants to get ahead in life, you must employ all the dirty, low-down, sneaky, underhanded, conniving, manipulating and illegal means in order to get what you are seeking. The laws were set up for failure. There is just perceived control.
For some reason, I keep putting on my rose-colored glasses. Maybe I just don't want to see the "real world." Maybe I just want to stay in my own bubble and push out all intruders who threaten to pop it.
I've been living an emotional rollercoaster for the past two years but I bought that ticket myself! I was clueless as to how long this ride was going to be and it has proven quite expensive emotionally, mentally and physically and eternal.
I chose this and I am a woman of my word even if it is to my detriment so life's little ironies continue to arise like the stench from a gut wagon.
